    How do I know I have tetanus?
    I haven't felt spams, more like nerve twitches, but I can't really tell the difference since I don't remember ever feeling a muscle spasm in my life. I feel fine, I'm just really scared. When I got scraped on the nail, it didn't bleed whatsoever, it just pulled a little piece of skin up, literally not enough to worry about, but I'm a hypochondriac. And it's been 31 days since. Please help me. About 3 days after I got scraped I got a tetanus shot at the doctor and she told me not to worry about but I mean I can't help it.
